Interesting fact

The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Aurelian (270-275 AD) as a reform to the Roman currency. The coin was made of silver and had a unique design, featuring a radiate crown on the obverse (front side) and a shield with the initials of the legions on the reverse (back side). This design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the Roman Empire.
